Making Mine Marvel in the Future

I liked Maguire as Spidey and thought Raimi could return to the heyday of Spidey 1/2, but this new reboot does not look half-bad:

And more Emma Stone is, indeed, more Emma Stone. Seems like her backstory changes much and she will have more spine than the comic book version, but that would not be hard if I remember correctly. I still think Emma would have been a perfect MJ.

I do wonder if making the death of Peter's parents a central mystery is a good thing or not. I guess it depends on execution.

Intro

Greetings! I am a political scientist, specializing in International Relations, my research and teaching focus on ethnic conflict and civil-military relations. I watch way too much TV, and I like movies as well so I tend to write about both and find IR stuff in pop culture. I rant alot about American politics and sometimes about Canadian politics. I like to take ideas I once learned a long time ago and apply them to whatever strikes my fancy.
